Excerpt From the Back of the Book: It was Sloane who yanked Emily out of shell and made life 100% interesting. But right before what should have been the most epic summer, Sloane just...disappears. All she leaves behind is a to-do list. On it, thirteen Sloane-inspired tasks that Emily would normally never try. But what if they could bring her best friend back?
1. Kiss a stranger.
2. Go skinny dipping.
3. Steal something.
4. Break something.
5. Penelope.
6. Ride a dern horse, ya cowpoke.
7. 55 S. Ave. Ask for Mona.
8. The backless dress. And somewhere to wear it.
9. Dance until dawn.
10. Share some secrets in the dark.
11. Hug a Jamie.
12. Apple picking at night.
13. Sleep under the stars.
- Frank: perfect, Ken-like boy who maybe isn't exactly like he seems
- Dawn: definitely un-perfect, but you love her anyway
- Collins: honestly, I don't know how to describe him. He's not my favorite ever, he's just...Collins.
a) Sloane will magically appear after all 13 tasks are complete
b) once she finishes all the tasks, she will receive a text message giving her exact directions to Sloane's location, or
c) the whole thing is a hoax, and Sloane is hiding in her basement waiting for Emily to finish all the tasks.
